2.           PRODUCTS/SERVICES

 

2.1.       Your Home

 

The options for type(s) of electricity used in the household have been expanded to differentiate between using a generator on a daily basis and using a generator only when there is load shedding or power failures. The other two options remained as mains electricity and solar.

 

2.2        Durables

 

A new question to ascertain whether any of the household’s radio sets which are in working order, can be powered by batteries. 

 

2.3      Personal Data

 

Due to the expansion of household diary flooding to include 13-15 year old household members, (see Section 3) the Personal Data section of the AMPS questionnaire has been expanded to obtain the demographics of these 13-15 year olds.

 

2.4     TAMS
